Northeast Regional: Miami, Merrimack, Notre Dame, UNH

[mcfarljd]

Bad news for Miami: it's cold and snowy up here. Feels like we're still in the middle of winter. UNH plays best in the middle of winter...

Wait. Before or after new years winter? Big difference in how we play

Granted it's not Umiliation's throwing the puck into your own net in a tie game with 10 seconds to go...

How many times must this be rehashed, go watch the replay, if that puck isn't blocked by Pollastrone, it ends up on Wilson's stick with an open net. Want to make a bet if he puts that in? The only other option he would've had would be to cup the puck and throw it out of the crease, but that would've resulted in a penalty shot for (I believe) anyone on the team. UNH did not by any means collapse in that game. They dominated play for large portions of that game but Millan played out of his mind.

I don't know. Ask Gustav Nyquist.

well not to butt in but... don't sell Notre Dame short. They are well coached, they are always in position and rarely give up an odd man rush, they capitalize well on mistakes too. I think the special teams will make the difference.

I believe ND's special teams were at the bottom of the list of the four teams in this regional. Could be wrong. Hopefully Merrimack's power play keeps clicking.

with all due respect but did you watch either of the games this past weekend? lol

They are capable but man those are bold statements to make after they got beat up this past weekend.

Poor city planning was involved, as well; Manchester is having their St Patricks Day Parade on Elm St Sunday afternoon. The two events could not happen at the same time, so that was part of the reason for the 8pm game.

That had zero to do with it. The NCAA could care less about manchesters st. patrick day party. Its all about TV and espn wanted the games on later in the day. Same thing that happened last year in Ft. Wayne, its all what the NCAA and ESPN want they don't care about anything else.

Are you confused that the only a-holes in the Miami, Merrimack, ND, UNH regional thread are BC fans?

Im not surprised at all, frankly its expected that they are the only a-holes in any thread. But we have to take it, they have owned us in the tournament. All you can do is let them talk, problem is when the time comes that we do beat them we still won't have anything to say because of past history...some ego's aren't ones you can be level headed with.

And all that late game did on Sunday in Fort Wayne was give us all more time to drink that day

What side will Miami be defending 1st and 3rd periods? The side closer to section 101 or 114? Will it switch up if they play the second round?

If it's consistent with AHL games, and they are the home team, they would defend 101.

Merrimack, the home team in game number two, will be shooting twice on 101.

So much for consistency. :-)
